- The School of Law was licensed to offer legal education on 30th July 2018 and opened her doors to the first batch of students in September of the same year. This was after a rigorous process of accreditation involving a market survey, drafting of the curriculum, stakeholder’s forum, inspection and approval of facilities and other resources and recruitment of staff. The School chose Media and Communications Law as her niche area buttressed by Intellectual Property Rights. Consequently, the School currently has two departments: Media & Communications Law and Intellectual Property Rights.

The School admits both full time and part-time students.
